Abstract

Infections in the postpartum period are caused by delays in perineal wound healing. Kegel exercises are exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, help prevent urinary incontinence problems, and can stretch the perineal tissue as the baby's birth canal. Accelerate healing of perineal wounds in postpartum mothers at the Driyorejo Gresik Community Health Center through Kegel exercise education. This community service was carried out on postpartum mothers with perineal wounds in the Driyorejo Gresik Community Health Center working area in March 2024. The number of postpartum mothers who were given Kegel exercises was 30 people. Service activities are divided into 3 stages, namely preparation, implementation and evaluation. The results of the activity showed a decrease in REEDA scores after doing Kegel exercises. Giving Kegel exercises can speed up the healing of perineal wounds. Kegel exercises given to postpartum mothers for 7 days and done 3 times a day with movements that activate the pubococcygeal muscles can improve blood and oxygen circulation to the muscles and tissues around the perineum.

Abstract

Quality antenatal care is a key factor in ensuring pregnant women are prepared for a safe delivery and in preventing complications that require special medical attention. Low attendance at antenatal visits is partly due to a lack of awareness about the importance of timely ANC check-ups. To improve the quality of antenatal visits among pregnant women at Gurah Public Health Center, Kediri Regency. This community service activity was conducted for pregnant women in the Gurah Public Health Center area from September 30 to October 30, 2024, with 10 pregnant women in the first trimester. The activity consisted of three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The findings showed that after receiving education, there was an increase in pregnant women’s knowledge regarding antenatal visits. Education can enhance the participation of pregnant women, which is expected to improve the coverage of ANC services in accordance with the set targets.
